Event Details

It’s been 36 years since he first shot to fame, yet Rick Astley is now arguably a more prominent force in popular culture than he ever was.

The endearingly boyish 57-year-old is still winning over new fans, whether he’s performing with Foo Fighters , Take That or Blossoms ; becoming an unlikely social media sensation; or simply embracing the unending love that greets his era-defining smash ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ which was boosted by its use in an intensely affecting scene in ‘Ted Lasso’ .

Indeed, since returning to #1 in 2016 with ‘50’ , Rick has enjoyed the strongest run of album chart positions of his entire career.

Rick Astley tour: ‘Meme king’ announces 2023/24 UK tour including Leeds - how to get tickets & presale

Pop sensation Rick Astley has announced a UK tour to mark the release of his new album - how to get tickets.

Pop singer Rick Astley , who became an unlikely social media sensation with his era-defining hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ has announced a UK tour that will kick off at the end of this year. The 57-year-old is set to embark on a nationwide tour starting with two London dates in November before continuing with an arena tour in 2024 including a Leeds date.

The ‘Are We There Yet’ tour will coincide with the release of his new album of the same name on October 6. Massive arena dates will then be held in 2024, beginning on February 22 in Nottingham and ending on March 2 in Manchester.

Over the course of his 30-year career, Astley has sold over 40 million records worldwide. On YouTube alone, his classic Never Gonna Give You Up has received over 1.2 billion views.

In 2016, Astley astonished the world (and himself) by releasing the platinum-certified album 50. The album reached the top of the album listings, sold more than 300,000 copies, and was one of the year’s best-selling releases.

He then released a follow-up to the hit album in 2018 titled Beautiful Life. The album features 12 new songs penned, produced, and performed by Astley himself. The next year, he published a new album titled The Best Of Me.

Speaking about his new album, Astley, said: “ Now, that phrase has multiple meanings. Are we there yet in my musical ambitions? Am I done with my career? Have we arrived? Or are we still travelling?”

On his latest single, ‘Dippin’ My Feet’, he said: “It’s not Americana, but the tag-line at the start of the chorus is: ‘Dipping my feet in the Mississippi River…’ It’s definitely not country, but I’ve never twanged a guitar as much as I have in the past couple of months. And there’s a bit more emotion with those guitar parts. I just think spending five months in America has returned my ear a little bit.”

When is Rick Astley coming to Leeds?

Astley is performing at Leeds First Direct Arena on Saturday, February 24, 2024.

Rick Astley announces new album and massive Leeds gig on UK arena tour

Rick Astley has announced he’s releasing a new album later this year, and he’s heading out on a huge arena tour of the UK to celebrate.

It may have been 36 years since the iconic singer-songwriter first shot to fame with his massively-popular 1987 hit song ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ – but Rick Astley is arguably a more prominent force in popular  culture  now than he ever has been before.

Over the past couple of years, it seems the 57-year-old has been amassing new fans left, right, and centre, all thanks to on-stage performances with the likes of US rockers Foo Fighters, Take That or Blossoms, and claiming the strongest run of album chart positions of his entire career.

After having become an unlikely social media sensation since the turn of the 21st century, Rick says he’s been “simply embracing the unending love” from all his enthusiastic supporters.

And now, the popstar is ready to make his fans’ days after announcing a new album and UK tour.

Rick’s long-awaited ninth studio album, titled  Are We There Yet? , is set to be released out into the world on 6 October 2023, and to give people a taste of what’s to come, the first single off that album, ‘Dippin My Feet’, is out today.

But the new album isn’t all that fans of the Lancashire legend have to look forward to, as Rick says “the road ahead remains open for further exploration”, and so has today revealed details of a major UK headline tour starting later this year and drawing to a close in early 2024.

Rick Astley – UK Tour Dates 2023/24

• Wednesday 1 November – Royal Albert Hall (London)
• Thursday 02 November – Royal Albert Hall (London)
• Thursday 22 February – Motorpoint Arena (Nottingham)
• Friday 23 February – Utilita Arena (Newcastle)
• Saturday 24 February – First Direct Arena (Leeds)
• Monday 26 February – Cardiff International Arena
• Tuesday 27 February – OVO Hydro (Glasgow)                     
• Thursday 29 February – Bournemouth International Centre
• Friday 1 March – Birmingham Resorts World Arena
• Saturday 2 March – AO Arena (Manchester) 

Two prestigious dates at London’s Royal Albert Hall will kick-off Rick’s UK tour this November, followed by a series of massive arena dates nationwide.

Speaking ahead of the release of his new album, Rick said: “The phrase ‘Are We There Yet?’ has multiple meanings. Are we there yet in my musical ambitions? Am I done with my career? Have we arrived? Or are we still travelling?”

He admits the new album and accompanying singles are Americana-influenced.

“It’s definitely not country, but I’ve never twanged a guitar as much as I have in the past couple of months,” Rick continued.

“And there’s a bit more emotion with those guitar parts. I just think spending five months in America has retuned my ear a little bit.”

Rick Astley’s ninth studio album ‘Are We There Yet?’ is now available to pre-order  here .

Fans who pre-order before 7pm today (20 June), will receive access to a pre-sale for tour tickets – which opens at 9:30am tomorrow (21 June) and will remain live until remaining tickets go on general sale from 9:30am this Friday (23 June).
